Léa Lafugie (French, 1890-1972)

Léa Lafugie (11 Feb 1890, Paris 7 — 18 June 1972, Paris 16) was a French explorer, artist and writer, one of the first solo traveler women to sojourn in Tibet, and whose body of work reflects her lasting interest in China and Southeast Asia. After studying at Paris Ecole des Arts decoratifs (School of Decorative Arts), at Ecole des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts) and Academie Jullian, she started working in fashion illustration, with nude paintings, engravings of hairstyles and portraits of young women displaying the new feminism of the “Roaring Twenties”.

What exactly are we looking at here? Are they some kind of sick-awesome wereshark?

I see that you have them down as goliath but also some other things I'm unfamiliar with. THE DESIGN IS SO COMPELLING I AM BEING COMPELLED RN TO ASK FOR MORE DEEEETS

so, firstly you are very much correct; she is a goliath and some sort of sick-awesome wereshark haha -- the idea here was that whenever she rages her visage would turn to that of a shark, but in a D&D sense, she is just a wildmagic barbarian.

The wereshark aspect, lore wise, is connected to her clan Hákarlunna which are a bunch of wereshark pirate/vikings lmao

This is all part of my homebrew world of WEUS, which takes some familiar dnd tropes and some not so familiar and mixes em together in a -what i hope- is a cool vibe.

you can see parts of it on the map there, which is a "goliath map" of a region called "The Manindron", a jungle peninsula filled with wild elfs and cute goblins. The Goliaths call it "Toryngien", which roughly translates to "Land of daggers" (this is what the text on the map says; "Fra himmelen af Toryngian" -- "Toryngien from the heavens"

uh the patterns are inspired by some bed coverings my late grandmothers made for me 20 years ago, which i love so much, so i use it in other drawings aswell (or aspects of it)

uh..... ok so the bull aspects in the drawing is a reference to a creation myth of the isle of Hoorn, where the celestial bull was slain and its body became the island, and out of their stomach the Sahal the first came out to guide the Sahalyari -- which isnt all that important to Eirdis her, i just like the motif lol

oh and the text on the side is in Elder Futhark, which says "Eirdis Ins Thrasarr -- Hákarlunna" -- which roughly translates to "Eirdis the Wrathfull -- shark born/follower" :-)

uh i dunno what more to say really, you can see more of her here -> her toyhouse

The incidental and marginal art is almost as compelling as the portrait its self!

I love the way you include motifs that aren't directly related to the character or her history but inform the reader of the culture she'd be familiar with just from living in the world! The objects she's surrounded by tell me just as much about the world as they do about the person who owns them! She's not a Shark Themed Barbarian, she's a Weus themed barbarian with shark features. It's a huge difference and you pull it off stunningly!

My favorite part is the almost bas-relief style used in the little were-shark portrait! She's so happy!

Just a normal guy.

KIRIPIKI THE ENLINGERING LIMERENCE another freaking cyte that came to be in a dream like two nights ago. She was such a strange strange individual. Kiripiki was dredging through flooded industrial sites, looking for parasitic life forms. Just anything. Worms, leeches, crustaceans and with incredible urgency. A lust, dare i say. It really felt as though she was deeply addicted to some sense of co-dependency. She was very very very odd. But i appreciate seeing her.

Tsurugi!!!! I met her in a dream and i've been doodling her some since. She told me her name in said dream as well. It felt very special

i don't think those lines are lacerations or cuts but just her heatpits... but they reaaally stretched down far. They looked painful but i knew they weren't.
